Cuesta’s Engineering program provides a foundation of mathematics, chemistry, physics,
and engineering courses necessary to transfer to a four-year institution and complete
a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Students should consult the institution to which
they wish to transfer for specific lower division requirements.

People working in the field of engineering and related technical fields “bridge the
gap” between scientific principles and the application of these principles to the
needs of society. An engineer uses experience and judgment, as well as advanced training
in engineering, science, and mathematics, to formulate ideas and designs, and to determine
standards, specifications, work orders and schedules so that projects can be economically
beneficial to mankind. Engineering offers diverse and exciting job opportunities for
people with mathematical, scientific, and technical skills.
